Definitions
- This invention relates to semiconductor devices, and in particular to the fabrication of semiconductor devices in integrated circuits using photolithography.
- photolithography in the fabrication of semiconductor integrated circuits is well-established in the industry. Such techniques involve covering the semiconductor substrate with a photoresist material, exposing the photoresist to light through a mask including a desired pattern, and developing the photoresist so that the pattern is formed in the resist. The semiconductor can then be etched or materials deposited using the photoresist as a mask.
- One of the challenges in this technology is to control feature sizes in the photoresist when the semiconductor substrate has a varying topology.
- photoresist material is often formed over an existing gate oxide pattern on the substrate.
- Light incident on the photoresist which is reflected by the gate over thicker portions of oxide will travel a shorter distance than light reflected by the thinner oxide portions.
- These reflected rays therefore, will form different interference patterns with light reflected by the top of the photoresist layer, thereby causing a variation in the intensity of light exposing the photoresist.
- the variations in exposure cause variations in the dimensions of the features defined by the photoresist.
- the anti-reflection coating is made of a silicon-containing oxide with the index of refraction varied by varying the amount of silicon relative to the amount of oxide.
- anti-reflection coating stacks which provide optimum reflectivity control for various circuit topologies.
- the invention is a method of fabricating semiconductor devices which includes the step of forming an anti-reflection coating on a substrate having a non-planar surface.
- the anti-reflection coating includes at least two layers of a silicon-containing oxide having different ratios of silicon-to-oxide, which will produce different indices of refraction, and different extinction coefficients.
- a layer of energy-sensitive material is formed over the coating and exposed to radiation to introduce a patterned image into the energy-sensitive material.
- a first oxide layer adjacent to the substrate has an extinction coefficient in the range 0.7 to 1.9 as measured at the exposure wavelength, and a second oxide layer adjacent to the energy-sensitive material has an index of refraction within the range 1.7 to 2.0 as measured at the exp wavelength.
- FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a portion of a semiconductor wafer including an anti-reflection coating in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a cross sectional view of a portion of a semiconductor wafer in accordance with another embodiment of the invention.

- Formed over the oxide portions is a layer of metal, 18 , such as tungsten-doped polysilicon, which ultimately will be patterned to form gate electrodes in MOSFET devices (not shown).
- MOSFET devices not shown. Due to the presence of the thin and thick oxide portions, a non-planar surface is formed which creates undesired interference patterns when an energy-sensitive material such as a photoresist layer, 16 , is formed over the substrate and exposed to light to create a pattern in the layer, 16 .
